NHTSA Complaint #10536463 — 2009 GMC ACADIA

* TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND REVVING UP BETWEEN GEARS. DELAYED RESPONSE AND CLUNKING SOUND WHEN IT IS IN REVERSE. "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" ALSO CAME ON. BARELY DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR SCHEDULED A TRANSMISSION REBUILD. AFTER DOING INTERNET SEARCH, I SAW COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS IN BLOGS, SNS, ETC. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. NOT ACCEPTABLE. GMC HAS POWERTRAIN WARRANTY 5 YEAR /100K MILES. MY WARRANTY EXPIRES IN FOUR MONTHS AND GM SHOULD PROVIDE EXTENDED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BEYOND 5 YEARS BASED UNRELIABLE TRANSMISSION DESIGN/QUALITY. * POWER STEERING PROBLEM. POWER STEERING IS MAKING MOANING UNDER LOW SPEED DRIVING (IN THE PARKING LOT, DRIVING AROUND SUBDIVISION, ETC.). NOISE IS COMING FROM THE INSIDE STEERING COLUMN AREA. ALSO STEERING IS VERY TIGHT AND HARD. COMPLAINED TO DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SEAL TWICE, BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT GM DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR
